Interdigitated photoconductive (IPC) switches are convenient sources and detectors for terahertz (THz) time domain spectroscopy. However, reflection of the emitted or detected radiation within the device substrate can lead to echoes that inherently limits the spectroscopic resolution achievable. In this work, we design and realize low-temperature-grown-GaAs (LT-GaAs) IPC switches for THz pulse generation...
In terahertz spectroscopy, multi-layered samples often need to be measured, for instance in a liquid flow cell, and this complicates the extraction of material parameters. We present a spectroscopic parameter extraction algorithm for multilayer samples that can also be used to extract the thickness of an unknown sample layer.
We present a method of calculating the measurement variance-covariance matrix of a spectroscopic sample's complex refractive index from time-domain statistics in order to estimate uncertainty of a measurement. We compare this method to a numerical analysis and previously derived methodology, and show that our time-based estimate is both accurate and adaptable to complex extraction models.
We show the coherent detection of the laser emission from seeded terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers (QCL) with metal-metal waveguides using free-space coupling of a THz pulses to the sub-wavelength waveguide. We implement a simple, monolithic planar horn antenna design on the metalmetal waveguide that reduces the impedance mismatch to the waveguide. The laser emission is seeded and coherently...
